Sažetak
From its beginnings medicine has the same goal, to restore health. However, throughout history health and medicine have been understood in different ways. For Avicenna, as we read in the Canon, medicine is philosophically founded and health, following the Greek and Islamic tradition, is related to balance (a balanced mixture) which refers to various phenomena related to health and illness of the body and mind in the mutual connection of soul and body. This presentation establishes the philosophical roots of Avicenna’s concept of health and presents the fundamental characteristics of Avicenna’s concept of health and illness.
